[ncl-talk] loop over a unique filename

[Kacie Shourd]

Hi, Chang

I have yet to figure out how to loop through files in such a way using purely NCL. There is the "addfiles" function, but I don't believe that loops through files -- it just pulls in the variables from all files and I'm not sure how to keep things separate.

I have handled this problem in the past by using a wrapper in an external language (Python, for example), and running things directly from the shell. Looping in other languages is much more straight forward (in my opinion), and shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish.

If you need assistance doing this, I would be happy to lend a hand/provide an example.

Best,
Kacie

Subject: [ncl-talk] loop over a unique filename

Dear NCL,

I have a unique *nc file like this (with increment 1):

data.0001.nc<http://data.0001.nc>
data.0002.nc<http://data.0002.nc>
data.0003.nc<http://data.0003.nc>
.
.
data.0010.nc<http://data.0010.nc>
data.0011.nc<http://data.0011.nc>
data.0012.nc<http://data.0012.nc>
.
.
.
data.0101.nc<http://data.0101.nc>
data.0102.nc<http://data.0102.nc>

I want to call this data using a loop, something like this:

t=1,1

input="/dir/data.000+"t".nc

but it doesnt work when then zero is reduced infront of the filename.
anys suggestion how to call this files on a loop?

Thanks

Chang
